Joe Manchin: Deeply Disappointed in GOP and Prepared to Do Absolutely Nothing
The centrist Democrat believes, despite it all, that bipartisanship is still possible. “I have to say, keep the faith in this damn Senate,” he told The Daily Beast.
Hasnain says:
This should win some headline award.
“That argument was a pitch-perfect distillation of how Manchin views the Senate. How it was received—with just six Republicans voting for the commission—would perhaps indicate to a more mutable senator that his view may be out of step with reality and necessitate eliminating the filibuster, the 60-vote threshold for passing bills.
But not for Manchin.”
